[MyData & Open Data] okfn=mail-search - monitoring privacy discussions from across the open knowledge community

[Sam Smith]

Hey Reuben,

That's *really* useful.

Can you pull subject lines and message-counts for threads too? :)

At a seminar earlier this week, someone mentioned that there was an import filter being developed for open-spending looking at the data matching problems that they've had (where a supplier name gets redacted in one row, not another, but the supplier IDs are unredacted and identical for both rows). I've not had chance to look into who's doing that yet, but I'm sure the OS group would appreciate us making the developer of that tool's life a lot harder ;)
